I am reminded of the Aviator’s Prayer in Vietnam…
“God give me the eyes of an eagle, the stealth of a stalking tiger and the balls of an Army Helicoptet Pilot”
I can’t imagine their record of heroism ever being surpassed in any branch of the defence forces, ever!

There is not enough words to describe the way this aircraft was used in Nam and other conflicts of war and Peace time use
She was an unselfish beautiful lady and the wop wop was unmistakable to all whom served with her
Rest in peace young lady you have done your time

Can I go as an Escort and stay in Aussie land? Amazing our friends the Australians are quite deserving and God Bless them.
When you all come back how about a tour in Vermont.
